Blog #7 What is the "truth" in this story

This story was extremely good I really enjoyed and understood what O'Brien was trying to say. O'Brien really examined story-telling through using war stories. The "truth", is how no story is genuinely told the right way. So essentially people never actually get the true story. O'Brien basically says that being that when we each see things differently when you witness something happening we automatically distort the images to I guess help ourselves wrap the event around our minds. Hence when a person recalls a story what happens is their interpretation of what occurred is tainted with what they believe occurred. and some or most of what really happened is changed or left out. O'Brien believed that people added things or removed them to make the story believable , because the truth is so unbelievable. He states how when I a person is presented with actual factual truth they tend to reject it. I so agree with that thought, I too have had similar situations. But O'Brien says if you tell that story enough times eventually the truth could possible be told.
